I include in the Record this column recently written by the head of the National Marine Fisheries Service and also the chief scientist for the National Marine Fisheries Service under the Bush administration. I would like to call special…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 37, strike lines 5 through 6 (and redesignate the subsequent subparagraphs accordingly). Page 38…

I will close by stating that I can appreciate the frustration that the gentleman may be feeling, feeling like this is a process of remitigating for the same thing over and over again. I think it is a little more complicated than that, but…

I do rise in opposition to this amendment offered by the gentleman from New York. This is an amendment that would lift the ban on striped bass fishing in the Block Island transit zone between Montauk, New York, and Block Island, Rhode…

These certainly are arguments that can and should be made at the Atlantic Council. In fact, they are made regularly, and that council has representation regionally, has representation from all the key stakeholders, and has access to the…

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. This is a 5-minute vote. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 222, nays 193, not voting 13, as follows: [Roll No. 321]…

The Trump administration is the most corrupt in our country's long history. They are enriching themselves and rewarding special interests and campaign donors like nothing we have ever seen. If you need proof, look no further than our…

On the day of June 8th, 2018, I was unavoidably detained and as a result, I was absent for rollcall votes 254-257. Had I been present for the rollcall vote 254, on Agreeing to the Amendment, I would have voted ``no.'' Had I been present…

Any weakening of the Lacey Act that could allow them to spread more easily would have significant negative impacts on ecosystems and economies.

I have a couple of thoughts. First of all, that infamous Trump Tower meeting in June of 2016 just stinks to high heaven; the gentleman is absolutely right. Anyone who looks objectively at what we know about that meeting, anyone who is not…

However, this protection against that kind of criminal penalty is already built into the law.

Today's oversight hearing on the Lacey Act should focus on strengthening America's premier wildlife protection statute to face the threats of the 21st century.

This natural resource theft is a national security issue.

If a person did not know he was violating the law, he will not be subject to criminal penalties, period.

Today's oversight hearing on the Lacey Act, in my view, should focus on strengthening America's premier wildlife protection statute to face the threats of the 21st century, such as wildlife trafficking and the spread of invasive species.

The gentleman from Colorado is right that the pace of revelations and controversies surrounding this Trump White House and their personal financial and political involvement with Russia, their attempts to interfere with and obstruct…

The gentleman has just hit on the ``quo.'' We talked about the ``quid'': the solicitations from Russia. Through Papadopoulos, even earlier, in April, the spring of 2016, those solicitations were welcomed and embraced by the highest levels…

I think, Mr. Chairman, we are talking about a solution in search of a problem here.

If a person didn't know he was violating the law, he is not going to be subject to criminal penalties, period.

I thank my friend from Colorado for his leadership and convening these conversations. It was really helpful to hear from our friend from Missouri, who reminds us that this is really a big deal, this Russian meddling, and that we have to…

I will close on my end but with a bit of a question for my colleague: We have talked about how big this is. I think ``sabotage'' is not too strong a word for what the Russians did in the 2016 election. I think anyone who was involved in a…

I thank the gentleman from Arizona for yielding me time. Mr. Speaker, today we are being asked to pass yet another bill that undermines the Endangered Species Act and accelerates the extinction of our Nation's fish and wildlife…

There are more acres grazed today than during the 1980 General Management Plan.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. And I do want to thank you for inviting a witness to talk about the Point Reyes National Seashore, one of the most amazing, awe-inspiring landscapes anywhere in the country.

I disagree with some of my testimony, but offered no facts or information to counter my detailed analysis.
